Embedding method for the scattering phase in strongly correlated quantum
dots
   [PDF]

The embedding method for the calculation of the conductance through
interacting systems connected to single channel leads is generalized to obtain
the full complex transmission amplitude that completely characterizes the
effective scattering matrix of the system at the Fermi energy. We calculate the
transmission amplitude as a function of the gate potential for simple
diamond-shaped lattice models of quantum dots with nearest neighbor
interactions. In our simple models we do not generally observe an interaction
dependent change in the number of zeroes or phase lapses that depend only on
the symmetry properties of the underlying lattice. Strong correlations separate
and reduce the widths of the resonant peaks while preserving the qualitative
properites of the scattering phase.
